So I'm 7 weeks out from surgery pre op weight 231 current weight 201. I have been stalled at 201 for about a week and a half or so. I'm worried I'm doing something wrong. Some days I have a protein shake, 8oz of milk, 2 splendas, cinnamon and 2 scoops of isopure unflavored 25g per scoop. For lunch I have chicken breast with black beans or mashed potates And something similar for dinner. I work out 4x a week 20 min power walk on 6.0 incline and jog for about 12 mins. What am I doing wrong? Please helpppppp

You have no idea how normal that is. Don't worry, you'll start losing again. Your body is just readjusting itself. I'm 7 months post op & I had a 2 month stall where 2 numbers were just going back & forth. The scale FINALLY moved today. Added more walking.....don't worry!

Maybe I need to put away the scale lol

Make sure that you are drinking ALL of your fluids. I notice a big difference in my weight loss when I keep on track with fluids. I am also about 7 weeks out from surgery.

Yeah I've noticed I haven't been drinking as much water, so I'm drinking a lot now.

1. I am going thru the same thing. I am 2 months out and i havent lost weight in like 3 weeks, im eating ok, drinking water, excercising as well. Everyone tells me i lost but i dont know....
   

I'm going through the exact same thing! It's very frustrating to have lost so much weight in the beginning then nothing for weeks! I may not have been perfect but I never go over 700-800 calories and get in all of my protein. Everyone on here says it will break but its tough to not know when or if at all. What if I'm the exception and this won't work for me??

I'm gonna stop working out. And maybe go back to the 3 week diet restriction for a few days and see if that changes anything. Trust me I hate it. Being stuck at 201. I need to throw out the scale. Because it's just stressing me out.

This seems to be normal. I stalled for over a week at 6 weeks out and then "bam" I dropped 5 lbs in 2 days. It seems to be a common occurrence. I'm 8 weeks out tomorrow.

How much have you lost so far?

I'm going through a stall, too. I'm frustrated. I'm seven weeks out (sleeved on March 18th) and have been stuck for two weeks now. It seems the same 2 pounds keeps going away and coming back. I keep my calories between 700-900 a day, and try to get in 75 grams a day of protein.

I'm hoping to kick this stall soon. I know everyone says it's normal, but I'm still worried a bit.

I finally kicked it!! I'm 196 now:) I just stopped working out for a few days and drank lots of water. It worked. Do something different. Trick your body. Drink more water or less or less protein. Did you have surgery with dr. Garcia?

Congrats! I'll try the more water tip, although I struggle sometimes to get 64 oz. And yes I had my surgery with Dr. Garcia at Mi Doctor. Good experience.

Me too! Good experience. Try that. And don't weigh yourself for a few days. Hide the scale!

Just do strictly Protein, less than 20 carbs for 1 week. You weight will move. Also your body has to catch up to your weight loss.
